Each pair of students meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit each. Requirements for completion: •One welcoming session on the second Friday of the term •18 weekly one-hour pair meetings •Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings •At least three pair-teacher meetings •One five-minute final video Sign up! The sign-up and registration process is as follows: •Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning. •Based on the information entered by each student, potential pairs are identified. •Proficiency (熟练) levels are confirmed through coursework or placement tests. •Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme. Reminders: Signing up for the programme does not automatically mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme. 21.

B For most graduating students, the college-admission season, usually in July and August, is a nervous time that is often described as a life-changing moment. An anxious 18-year-old Peng Lanxi got his admission letter from Hunan University of Science and Technology on July 26, bringing his dream closer-making prosthetic limbs (假肢) more advanced and accessible to people like him. His mother Wang Chunmei couldn’t hold back her tears because she knew how her son had overcome the difficulties. Peng Lanxi lost his legs in a car accident in 2005, when he was a baby. Having learned to walk using just his hands, he enjoys life as much as the teenagers around him. On his wheelchair, he plays basketball and badminton. Once a week, he goes for a 40-minute swim, and his best time for 100 meters is one minute and 15 seconds. “I believe that obstacles (障碍) are there to be conquered. Someone says that life is like a mirror, and we get the best results when we smile at it,” Peng Lanxi says. His story has gone viral (在网上快速传播的) on social media platform Sina Weibo, which has been viewed more than 19 million times and he won admiration from its users for his courage, determination and hard work. A user named Shuangpi comments that Peng lost his legs, but he doesn’t let that get in his way. The official account of Hunan University of Science and Technology on the platform has even commented, “Welcome Peng to the university.” Lu Ming says that the school will help Peng to pursue his dream—to be a prosthetics engineer, a career that will change lives. Peng is not alone, as authorities have improved the presence of disabled people on mainstream campuses in recent years. 14,559 students facing physical challenges entered college last year. From 2016 to 2020, about 57,500 special needs students were admitted into universities, a more than 50 percent increase compared with the 2011-2015 period. 24. Why did Wang Chunmei burst into tears? A. Her son can act like a healthy person. B. Her son’s achievement was a shock to her. C. Her son succeeded after too much difficulty. D. She hoped to put on prosthetic limbs for her son. 25. What can we know about Peng Lanxi from the third paragraph? A His bitter childhood. B. His game experience. C. His positive attitude to life. D. His preference for various sports. 26. What caused Peng Lanxi to be popular? A. His mother. B. His talents. C. His hard work. D. Shuangpi’s comment. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Lu Ming was once in charge of admission. B. Prosthetics engineers can find jobs much easier. C. Disabled people at universities are looked down on. D. Being admitted into the university will contribute to Peng Lanxi’s future. C It’s wonderful to be back in my boyhood hometown again to visit my now elderly mother. It seems like centuries ago when I was growing up here. Mom is doing great for her age, but she’s moving more slowly these days. After a lengthy but heart-warming talk in our little house about my wife, the kids and how well my work is going in the big city far from here, I decide to have a look around the neighborhood to see how things have changed, and how things have stayed the same. It’s only a short walk to reach the old retired doctor’s house, whose grasses I cut weekly. He usually paid me a small amount of money to help maintain his large yard. We always enjoyed talking as we worked together. I don’t remember exactly all that we talked about, but I do remember that he always listened and I felt appreciated. Just three houses away from the doctor’s home is her house. She was so lovely with pretty hair. I usually rode past her house after school to see whether I might find her outside where I could perhaps, just perhaps, have the chance to talk with her. I was not sure what to say given the chance. But it was worth the risk. It was too bad that she never really noticed me at school, even though we shared the same classes. I wonder where she is now... Oh, there is the special tree! It was here that I found a refuge when I felt disheartened. Sometimes, I would spend almost the entire day climbing around in it alone. I also loved climbing to the very top of the tree and stayed there without being disturbed. I’m glad my mother never knew how high I dared to climb. It’s been decades since those days of boyhood exploration. Although everything is different now, nothing has changed. It is still a wonderful little town where I had learned, without realizing I was learning, the most important things before I adventured into a bigger world. 28. How did the author most probably feel when he was with the doctor? A. Threatened. B. Encouraged. C. Amused. D. Undervalued. 29. What can we know about the author as a boy from paragraph 3? A. He was repeatedly ignored by his classmates. B. He was a trouble-maker in his neighborhood. C. He had to work very hard to support his family. D. He even did not have the courage to talk to the girl. 30. Which best explains the word “refuge” underlined in paragraph 4? A. A large building where the sick are treated. B. An area where adults go to enjoy themselves. C. A place that protects people from unhappiness. D. A piece of public land used for a particular purpose. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. A Visit to My Hometown B. Sweet Memories of My First Love C. My Boyhood Adventures D. Lessons Learned From Tree Climbing D Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed. Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like. Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it! 32. What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph? A. It's a survival skill. B. It's taught by mother cats. C. It's hard to interpret. D. It's getting louder with age. 33. How does a pet cat assess different situations? A. By listening for sounds. B. By touching familiar objects. C. By checking on smells. D. By communicating with other cats. 34. Which best explains the phrase "take. . . up notch" in paragraph 3? A. Perform appropriately. B. Move faster. C. Act strangely. D. Do better. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B. Understanding Your Cat's Behavior C. Have Fun with Your Cat D. How to Keep Your Cat Healthy 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you want to develop maximum credibility (可信性), is it better to be a hedgehog (刺猬) or a fox? According to Isaiah Berlin, the hedgehog knows one thing very well, and the fox knows a lot of things. Is there a clear advantage of one style over the other? Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes. ___36___ And they are usually very credible in doing so. According to Jim Hart, the “hedgehog concept” is one of the factors that lead companies to greatness.

B 【解析】 【原文】 W: Good morning everyone. This lesson is a part of our leadership series. Let me start by sharing a story of a Richard Rochester, one of the most successful businessmen in Britain. Years ago, I was given the task of organizing a conference in the south of England. I chose a five star hotel owned by Rochester as the venue. Susan, the receptionist, helped me arrange everything perfectly. Once when we were chatting, I asked Susan if she’d ever met Mister Rochester, she said yes. Shortly after Mister Rochester bought the hotel, he made an appointment to see the hotel manager. When he arrived, the first person he met was Susan, who was cleaning the carpet. He chatted with Susan for thirty minutes before keeping his appointment with the manager. He spent all day at the hotel talking with each member of the staff, from the top guy to the lady who cleaned the toilets. Six months later, Mister Rochester paid another visit. Susan had been promoted to receptionist, but he recognized her immediately and addressed her by name. He even remembered that she had a little girl and what her name was. Now, I don’t believe that Richard Rochester has that good a memory. He must have written a lot of notes after his first visit and read them over again before that second visit. It’s time consuming, but it shows the importance he places on human relationships. I think that’s one of the secrets of his success. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Language Exchange Programme allows students in pairs to communicate in two different languages they wish to share and learn each week.

An anxious 18-year-old Peng Lanxi got his admission letter from Hunan University of Science and Technology on July 26, bringing his dream closer-making prosthetic limbs (假肢) more advanced and accessible to people like him. His mother Wang Chunmei couldn’t hold back her tears because she knew how her son had overcome the difficulties. Peng Lanxi lost his legs in a car accident in 2005, when he was a baby. Having learned to walk using just his hands, he enjoys life as much as the teenagers around him. On his wheelchair, he plays basketball and badminton. Once a week, he goes for a 40-minute swim, and his best time for 100 meters is one minute and 15 seconds. “I believe that obstacles (障碍) are there to be conquered. Someone says that life is like a mirror, and we get the best results when we smile at it,” Peng Lanxi says. His story has gone viral (在网上快速传播的) on social media platform Sina Weibo, which has been viewed more than 19 million times and he won admiration from its users for his courage, determination and hard work. A user named Shuangpi comments that Peng lost his legs, but he doesn’t let that get in his way. The official account of Hunan University of Science and Technology on the platform has even commented, “Welcome Peng to the university.” Lu Ming says that the school will help Peng to pursue his dream—to be a prosthetics engineer, a career that will change lives. Peng is not alone, as authorities have improved the presence of disabled people on mainstream campuses in recent years. 14,559 students facing physical challenges entered college last year. From 2016 to 2020, about 57,500 special needs students were admitted into universities, a more than 50 percent increase compared with the 2011-2015 period. 24. Why did Wang Chunmei burst into tears? A. Her son can act like a healthy person. B. Her son’s achievement was a shock to her. C. Her son succeeded after too much difficulty. D. She hoped to put on prosthetic limbs for her son. 25. What can we know about Peng Lanxi from the third paragraph? A. His bitter childhood. B. His game experience. C. His positive attitude to life. D. His preference for various sports. 26. What caused Peng Lanxi to be popular? A. His mother. B. His talents. C. His hard work. D. Shuangpi’s comment. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A Lu Ming was once in charge of admission. B. Prosthetics engineers can find jobs much easier. C. Disabled people at universities are looked down on. D. Being admitted into the university will contribute to Peng Lanxi’s future. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位被湖南科技大学录取的身残志坚的少年的事迹。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“His mother Wang Chunmei couldn’t hold back her tears because she knew how her son had overcome the difficulties.(他的母亲王春梅止不住泪水，因为她知道儿子是如何克服困难的。)”可推断，她流泪是因为儿子历经磨难后取得了成功。故选C。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Peng Lanxi lost his legs in a car accident in 2005, when he was a baby. Having learned to walk using just his hands, he enjoys life as much as the teenagers around him. On his wheelchair, he plays basketball and badminton. Once a week, he goes for a 40-minute swim, and his best time for 100 meters is one minute and 15 seconds.(彭兰溪在2005年的一场车祸中失去了双腿，当时他还是个婴儿。在学会只用双手走路后，他和周围的青少年一样享受生活。他坐在轮椅上打篮球和羽毛球。他每周游泳一次，每次40分钟，100米的最佳时间是1分15秒。)”可知，本段主要说明的是彭兰溪积极的生活态度。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“His story has gone viral on social media platform Sina Weibo, which has been viewed more than 19 million times and he won admiration from its users for his courage, determination and hard work.(他的故事在社交媒体平台新浪微博上疯传，点击量超过1900万次，他的勇气、决心和努力赢得了用户的钦佩。)”可知，他的努力让他受到欢迎。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Lu Ming says that the school will help Peng to pursue his dream-to be a prosthetics engineer, a career that will change lives.(陆明表示，这所学校将帮助彭实现他的梦想——成为一名假肢工程师，这将改变他的生活。)”可推断，被大学录取将对彭兰溪的未来有利。故选D。 C It’s wonderful to be back in my boyhood hometown again to visit my now elderly mother. It seems like centuries ago when I was growing up here. Mom is doing great for her age, but she’s moving more slowly these days. After a lengthy but heart-warming talk in our little house about my wife, the kids and how well my work is going in the big city far from here, I decide to have a look around the neighborhood to see how things have changed, and how things have stayed the same. It’s only a short walk to reach the old retired doctor’s house, whose grasses I cut weekly. He usually paid me a small amount of money to help maintain his large yard. We always enjoyed talking as we worked together. I don’t remember exactly all that we talked about, but I do remember that he always listened and I felt appreciated. Just three houses away from the doctor’s home is her house. She was so lovely with pretty hair. I usually rode past her house after school to see whether I might find her outside where I could perhaps, just perhaps, have the chance to talk with her. I was not sure what to say given the chance. But it was worth the risk. It was too bad that she never really noticed me at school, even though we shared the same classes. I wonder where she is now... Oh, there is the special tree! It was here that I found a refuge when I felt disheartened. Sometimes, I would spend almost the entire day climbing around in it alone. I also loved climbing to the very top of the tree and stayed there without being disturbed. I’m glad my mother never knew how high I dared to climb. It’s been decades since those days of boyhood exploration. Although everything is different now, nothing has changed. It is still a wonderful little town where I had learned, without realizing I was learning, the most important things before I adventured into a bigger world. 28. How did the author most probably feel when he was with the doctor? A. Threatened. B. Encouraged. C. Amused. D. Undervalued. 29. What can we know about the author as a boy from paragraph 3? A. He was repeatedly ignored by his classmates. B. He was a trouble-maker in his neighborhood. C. He had to work very hard to support his family. D. He even did not have the courage to talk to the girl. 30. Which best explains the word “refuge” underlined in paragraph 4? A. A large building where the sick are treated. B. An area where adults go to enjoy themselves. C. A place that protects people from unhappiness. D. A piece of public land used for a particular purpose. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. A Visit to My Hometown B. Sweet Memories of My First Love C. My Boyhood Adventures D. Lessons Learned From Tree Climbing 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要记述了作者回家探亲的经历。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“We always enjoyed talking as we worked together. I don’t remember exactly all that we talked about, but I do remember that he always listened and I felt appreciated.(我们总是喜欢在一起工作时聊天。我不记得我们谈了什么，但我记得他总是倾听，我感到很感激)”可推断，当作者和医生在一起时，作者感到受鼓舞。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I usually rode past her house after school to see whether I might find her outside where I could perhaps, just perhaps, have the chance to talk with her.(放学后，我经常骑马经过她家，看看能否在外面找到她，也许，只是也许，有机会和她说说话)”可知，作者根本没有和那个女孩讲话的勇气。故选D。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“Sometimes, I would spend almost the entire day climbing around in it alone. I also loved climbing to the very top of the tree and stayed there without being disturbed.(有时，我几乎要花一整天的时间独自在上面爬来爬去。我也喜欢爬到树顶，呆在那里不受打扰)”以及“It was here that I found a refuge when I felt disheartened.(正是在这里，当我感到灰心丧气时，我找到了一个refuge)”可推断，对作者来讲，这棵树是能为他提供心灵安慰的地方。C选项“保护人们远离不幸的地方”意思接近。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It’s been decades since those days of boyhood exploration. Although everything is different now, nothing has changed. It is still a wonderful little town where I had learned, without realizing I was learning, the most important things before I adventured into a bigger world.(少年时代的探险时代已经过去几十年了。虽然现在一切都不同了，但什么都没有改变。它仍然是一个美妙的小镇，在我冒险进入一个更大的世界之前，我在不知不觉中学会了最重要的东西)”结合本文主要记述了作者回家探亲的所见所思。故A选项“一次回乡之旅”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed. Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like. Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it! 32. What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph? A. It's a survival skill. B. It's taught by mother cats. C. It's hard to interpret. D. It's getting louder with age. 33. How does a pet cat assess different situations? A. By listening for sounds. B. By touching familiar objects. C. By checking on smells. D. By communicating with other cats. 34. Which best explains the phrase "take. . . up notch" in paragraph 3? A. Perform appropriately. B. Move faster. C. Act strangely. D. Do better. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B. Understanding Your Cat's Behavior C. Have Fun with Your Cat D. How to Keep Your Cat Healthy 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫通过叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物来表达需求、评估环境和展示爱意。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. (动物可以用很多方式来表达他们的需求。例如，几乎所有的动物都有独特的声音，它们依靠这些声音来寻求帮助，吓跑危险的动物或寻找庇护。)”和“Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother’s attention and be fed. (猫宝宝一出生就开始喵喵叫，喵喵叫是为了引起妈妈的注意和被喂食。)”可知，猫叫声是一种生存技能。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. (猫有许多敏锐的感官，但它们的嗅觉令人印象深刻。它们用鼻子来评估周围的环境，寻找任何危险的迹象。)”可知，宠物猫通过检查气味来评估不同情况。故选C。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词前半句“Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit,  (狗以其令人印象深刻的抓取习惯而闻名)”和后句“Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. (许多猫会在外面随意找到一些东西，并把它们带给主人。)”可知，狗以取回东西而闻名，但猫可以从外边找到东西带回来，因此在这一行为上更上一层楼。短语take ... up a notch是用来形容猫在带回东西这一行为上做得更好或更出色。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways.( 动物可以用很多方式来表达他们的需求。)”及全文可知，文章都在介绍和解释猫的各种行为方式，包括叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物的习惯，以及这些行为背后的原因和意义。所以“Understanding Your Cat’s Behavior(了解你的猫的行为)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you want to develop maximum credibility (可信性), is it better to be a hedgehog (刺猬) or a fox? According to Isaiah Berlin, the hedgehog knows one thing very well, and the fox knows a lot of things. Is there a clear advantage of one style over the other? Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes. ___36___ And they are usually very credible in doing so. According to Jim Hart, the “hedgehog concept” is one of the factors that lead companies to greatness. They focus on one thing and do it really well. They figure out what they are good at. ___37___ The hedgehog concept makes perfect sense for companies. ___38___ Philip Tate has studied the track records of those folks on the Sunday talk shows who make predictions about what will happen. He has found that hedgehogs are not only wrong more often than foxes, but that they are less likely to recognise or admit that they are wrong when events do not match their predictions. The advantage that foxes have is that they are more likely to seek out new information from a broader range of sources, and are comfortable with uncertainty and new information. ___39___ They try to include it in their viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking. They also have a clearer estimation of what they know and don’t know. So, which is better? The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style. ___40___ The choice between being a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off. The most effective way to go through life is to try to be that rare mixture known as foxy hedgehog. A. In other words, there are clear advantages for each. B. They are more likely to remember people’s mistakes. C. Hence, they have the advantage of clarity and confidence. D. But there can be a downside to concentration on one big thing. E. However, hedgehogs remain open to others’ reactions and inputs. F. When something is contradictory to their view, they don’t treat it as exceptional. G. They come down squarely on one side or the other and fully support their position. 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. D 39. F 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了拥有“刺猬”型思维方式和“狐狸”型思维方式的两类人对于个人和企业建立信誉度的优劣势。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes.(拥有“刺猬”型思维方式的人倾向于给出肯定的答案)” 可知，拥有“刺猬”型思维方式的人倾向于给出肯定的答案，G项中They 指代上文中的Hedgehog，G项“他们明确地站在一边或另一边，并全力支持自己的立场”说明拥有“刺猬”型思维方式的人往往有明确的立场，承接上文，符合语境。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据上文“They focus on one thing and do it really well. They figure out what they are good at.

(他发现，拥有“刺猬”型思维方式的人不仅比拥有“狐狸”型思维方式的人更容易出错，而且当事情与他们的预测不相符时他们不太可能意识到，也不太可能承认自己错了)”可知，此处介绍拥有“刺猬”型思维方式的人的缺点。D项“但是，把注意力集中在一件大事上可能会有不利的一面” 引出下文，介绍拥有“刺猬”型思维方式的人具备缺点，符合语境。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“The advantage that foxes have is that they are more likely to seek out new information from a broader range of sources, and are comfortable with uncertainty and new information. (“狐狸”型思维方式的人的优势在于，他们更有可能从更广泛的来源中寻找新信息，并且对不确定性和新信息感到舒适)”和下文“They try to include it in their viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking. (他们试图将其纳入自己的观点，而不是将其排除在自己的思维之外)”可知，此处介绍拥有“狐狸”型思维方式的人处理事情的方式。F项“当某件事与他们的观点相矛盾时，他们不会把它当作例外”承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 【40题详解】 根据上文“The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style. (这个问题可以用“像狐狸的刺猬”风格来回答)”和下文“The choice between being a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off.

This lesson is a part of our leadership series. Let me start by sharing a story of a Richard rochester, one of the most successful businessman in britain.

Shortly after mister rochester bought the hotel, he made an appointment to see the hotel manager. When he arrived, the first person he met was Susan. He was cleaning the carpet. He chatted with Susan for thirty minutes before keeping his appointment with the manager. He spent all day at the hotel talking with each member of the staff, from the top guy to the lady who cleaned the toilets. Six months later, mister rochester paid another visit. Susan had been promoted to receptionist, but he recognised her immediately and addressed her by name. He even remembered that he had a little girl and what her name was.
